I am trying to put together a very high performance SCO Xenix
system and would like to know if anyone out there has had
experience (good or bad) with the caching disk controllers made
by DPT (Distributed Processing Technologies).  They say you can
have a hardware cache of up to 16 MB, reducing disk access to .6
ms.  Also, a company called Corollary makes a 386 multiprocessing
board for SCO Xenix called the 386/mp.  Up to four 386's can be
added to the server.  Has anyone actually done this?  I'm using
the ALR 33/386 server with 16 MB of 80 ns RAM and Maxtor 4380E
disks.  Please reply by e-mail.
